Oil on Board, 10 x 14 inches
I painted this one as a demo for the Crown Hills
Art Society in Leicester last week. You can see how far I got in just under two
hours before finishing it off in the studio today.
It's one of my favourite painting spots near
Duddington by the River Welland, where its course has a double bend in it and is
wide and slow-moving. To capture the effect of the gorgeous, slightly disturbed
reflections by the gentle summer breeze, I employed the texture of the gessoed
surface, by dragging a sparingly loaded brush of the light, sky colour across the darker tree reflection in the
centre, giving that broken look, hopefully!
I recently discovered https://www.smashhouseburgers.com/, and I'm already hooked. The burgers are juicy and delicious, and the fries are perfectly crispy. The staff is always friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is laid-back and inviting. Whether I'm dining in or grabbing takeout, I know I can always count on SHB for a satisfying meal.
